B. Toffee – Milk & Dark Chocolates

Posted on October 4, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: B. toffee, Betsey Thagard, Orange County toffee shop | 10 Comments

I had a part-time job in college & one of my co-workers would make toffees & fudge every Fall/Winter. Around October, I remember asking Linda "What type of toffee will you make this season?" Every year I would look forward to her sweet treats. That was many, many years ago (like 20!) & sadly I don't get to enjoy her homemade toffee.

Fortunately for me, I've had Caliwater Cactus Water to satisfy my thirst. Never heard of cactus water? I didn't either until about 3 weeks ago when I saw Kat Odell's Instagram pic of it.
